HOLD YOUR TEMPUS
TEMPUS (4.50) can time it to perfection for Roger Charlton in the Beefeater Handicap at Ascot.
The colt was rightly awarded a hot Newbury handicap by the stewards after being badly hampered by Overwrite.
The four-year-old remains nicely unexposed so he can defy a lenient 2lb hike under old ally Jason Watson.
LABEEBB ( 3.40) can continue his relentless rise in the Victoria Racing Club
Handicap. Team Crisford’s colt ran another stormer when bolting up from the useful Grinling at Windsor and can pass his toughest test to date with flying colours.
William Haggas’ AL SALT ( 4.15) looks tasty in the Harrogate Water Classified Stakes. The progressive gelding won’t mind dropping back to a mile after his cracking third to Junkanoo at Goodwood.
The Bateaux London Handicap is very trappy but I’m siding with INTREPID ITALIAN ( 5.20). Richard Hannon’s charge improved again when just denied by Iconic Knight at Chepstow.
DOUBLE OR BUBBLE (5.55) is well worth punting in the tricky Jim Barry Wines Handicap. Charlie Wall’s filly can do damage in this sphere after comfortably defeating Model Guest at Sandown.
DANZAN (3.20) can bag a well-deserved success in the feature sprint at Haydock. Tim Easterby’s charge looked ready to strike when second to the in-form Barbill from a difficult draw at Chester.
SHEPHERDS WAY (3.50) can build on her impressive recent course-and-distance win. Julie Camacho’s improver can shrug off a well-earned 7lb hike for that two-length rout of Dana Forever.
TRANCHEE (4.55) can stay on the upgrade for shrewd handler David Loughnane. The gelding shaped like his turn was coming when chasing home River Nymph at Newbury.
The Shropshire trainer can also take the luck last thanks to REGAL MIRAGE (5.25).
The five-year-old still lurks on a workable Turf mark after hammering Jack D’Or over course and distance.
ZEEBAND ( 4.0) rates a typical Roger Varian improver in the competitive Hambleton Cup at Thirsk.
